The Fox News host follows his best-sellers about the deaths of Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy with a look at the founder of Christianity.

Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News anchor and author, has signed to write Killing Jesus: A History, as a follow-up to his best-selling books Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot and Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever.

The book will be published Sept. 24 by Henry Holt and Co. Martin Dugard, O'Reilly's co-author on the Kennedy and Lincoln books, also will serve as co-author on this project.

In Killing Jesus, O'Reilly "will recount the seismic political and historical events" that made the death of the "beloved and controversial young revolutionary" known as Jesus of Nazareth inevitable.

“Jesus Christ has not walked among us physically for more than 2,000 years, yet his presence today is felt the world over and his spirit is worshipped by more than 2.2 billion people, O'Reilly said in a statement released by Holt. "His teachings, his legacy, his life as a flesh-and-blood man and his death created the world in which we live.”
